- a transparent conductive thin film 12 is formed on an array substrate with a thin film transistor unit 2 , a first insulating layer 8 , a black matrix 7 , a color film 6 , a second insulating layer 9 , a common electrode 10 and a third insulating layer 11 sequentially formed thereon, and is connected to a drain electrode 21 of the thin film transistor unit 2 through a via hole 5 that penetrates the third insulating layer 11 , the second insulating layer 9 , the color film 6 and the first insulating layer 8 in sequence, as illustrated in FIG. 4 .
- a photoresist layer 13 having the pattern of a pixel electrode 4 is formed over the transparent conductive thin film, as illustrated in FIG. 5 , and a patterning process is conducted, so as to form the comb-tooth-shaped pixel electrode 4 , as illustrated in FIG. 6 .
- the photoresist layer 13 at the via hole 5 is removed by an ashing process, so that the pixel electrode 4 at the via hole 5 is exposed to the outside, as illustrated in FIG. 7 , and at this time, the pixel electrode 4 at the via hole 5 may be treated by using plasmas, so that a surface of the pixel electrode 4 turns into a rough face, as illustrated in FIG. 8 .
- the remaining photoresist layer 13 on the array substrate is removed, and the structure of the array substrate illustrated in FIG. 2 is formed.
- the plasma includes hydrogen plasma or silane plasma.
